Bone The Fish - Most Recent Comments!

Who said you can't coin your own term? What is "Boning the Fish"? It's a moment. A defining moment when you know that your favorite TV Show, Celebrity, Movie Series or Music Group has reached its peak. That instant you know from now on...it's all downhill. Some call it a climax of sorts. We call it "Boning the fish". From that moment on things will simply never be the same.

Wolverine and the X-Men - TV ShowsThough Wolverine did take a lot of presedence in this show (face it, he does anyway - even his three word cameo in X-Men First Class become one of the film's most memorable moments), it was all-round a solid series. The animation was brilliant and showed how far it had come in as a television medium with stories that were sophisticated and continuous. Many favourites were featured it might have been a lot more. Of course, TV executives have to bugger with any good (and potentially good) show nowadays it seems and despite the storyboards for a second season and the show's popularity - it was cancelled. The second season would have featured Apocalypse, the Arch-Angel storyline, maybe even the Phoenix saga and seeing what happened to Emma Frost. What a gosh-darn rip! -- Submitted By: (johnnydough) on June 10, 2013, 9:25 pm

Two and a Half Men - TV ShowsThis has got to be one of the most mean-spirited, sexist and downright unpleasant shows to have ever been made. I do not see any appeal it in; this was from first contact. The jokes are either vile, crude or condoning poor beahviour. By sexist, it treats women poorly and gives men a bad name and influence - nobody wins! That being said, I am certainly not a prig in television; some great shows like Seinfeld and Becker have unpleasant characters but either they have some depth to liking them or there are repercussions and/or other characters not taking kindly to their actions. Here they are just pricks you are expected to find likable and charming from the get go - no! -- Submitted By: (johnnydough) on June 10, 2013, 9:08 pm

Star Trek: The Animated Series - TV Shows@ParkerTillman: The name of the three-armed alien crewmember was Arex. He was treated as a full-fledged member of the crew from the get-go, which is why the show was never in danger of boning by the "New Kid on the Block" reason. Arex (as well as the felinoid female crewmember, M'Ress) was an example of the show's creators taking advantage of their medium to incorporate less-human-appearing aliens into the cast of characters: It's a lot cheaper to animate an alien than to spring for makeup/costuming/FX to make him/her/it appear on a live-action screen. Arex was also the butt of a sly in-joke (but in a nice way) in the Star Trek Log series of books, i.e., the Alan Dean Foster novelizations of the animated episodes. You remember all those scenes in the original series where some outside force would shake the daylights out of the Enterprise and knock everyone out of their chairs? And we the viewers wondered, "Why the hell don't they have seat belts?" In the A.D.F. novelizations, there was a repeated motif where, as usual, some outside force would start shaking things up. Unlike TOS, though, ONE crewmember would stay in his seat: Arex, reaping the benefits of having an extra arm. It struck me as being a little funny, as well as a mild dig at the TOS writers. Anyway, Arex was the guy's name, and he was NOT a BTF character. TAS still rocks, and A.D.F.'s novelizations are pretty good, too. -- Submitted By: (Mythigator) on June 10, 2013, 8:29 am

NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) - Random TopicsThe system that saved video games. If anyone remembers, video games were left for dead after the crash happened in 1984-1985. When the NES came out, it saved video games and revolutionized the genre with side scrolling games and adventure games that were never possible on Atari such as Super Mario Bros, Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Mega Man, Castlevania and Contra. The NES wasn't perfect, as the blowing on games got old and there were a good handful of awful games released for the system. That's why I tend to rate the Super NES higher as the game library was better and the graphics/sound a vast improvement from the 8-bit days, but the NES is a classic game system that can still be pointed to as the catalyst that helped get video games to where they are today. -- Submitted By: (kingbk) on June 6, 2013, 11:21 am

Arrested Development - TV ShowsI give season 4 an 8 out of 10. In my opinion, it's not up to the same standards as the first two seasons and probably about par with season 3. I'm not a big fan of the single character centric story lines. Arrested Development was always a show that was the sum is greater than the parts. The humor was at its best when the characters bounced their zanyness off each other. Also, the pacing is much slower at 30+ minutes an episode. The fast paced 22 minute format fit this humor much better. I also got a bit annoyed by Ron Howard showing up on the screen every few minutes. We get it Ron, you are such a witty creative guy. Still, there was a lot of the humor and creativity you expect with AD, so I will say an 8 out of 10, though I wonder if it would have been better for them to end it when they did. -- Submitted By: (kingbk) on June 3, 2013, 7:02 pm

Becker - TV ShowsI handled it okay when Reggie left. Season 5 was still funny. However, when season 6 came along and Bob also left and they replaced him with that other guy, that was when it boned.

Arrested Development - TV ShowsSure Season 4 can count. Though I really enjoyed season 4. I didn't really understand what people meant by darker tone until I saw the final episode.

The most recent work I can think of is that 2010 Snickers Superbowl commercial he did with Betty White.

Bob Newhart Show, The - TV ShowsNever boned! In my opinion this show doesn't get the credit it deserves. I agree that a big part of the success of this show were the supporting cast as well as excellent writing. One of my favorite moments from the show is when Bob and Emily are dining out with Emily's parents and Bob keeps insisting on picking up the check. It gets to the point where Bob ended up paying the tab for the people eating next to them because he wouldn't let the waiter finish telling him that the check was for the other people; Bob was too busy insisting on picking up the check. Back to the supporting cast; there were times when Bob "was out of town" so those episodes concentrated on the "others" in the show. And it was obvious that they had no problem with Bob not being there. Some of the best episodes were without Bob. Such as the one where Bob is gone and Emily is going out to dinner with an "old friend"; David Hedison. Of course Howard; Carol and Jerry think that Emily is fooling around and spy at the restaurant. The rest of that scene was "pure gold". I say that this show was easily one of the best comedies of all time. It never got "old" and it didn't "preach" anything like MASH did. It was written and acted out to make you care for the characters and laugh at their "daily exploits". It succeeded at the highest level. -- Submitted By: (Pete) on June 2, 2013, 4:39 am

Bewitched - TV ShowsI agree that the show boned with the replacement of Dick York. It was obvious that there was no chemistry between Darrin #2 and Sam. You could see that Dick York and Elizabeth had a genuine love/chemisty between them. Some of my favorite episodes involved Aunt Clara because it was also obvious that Dick York loved her as much as Sam did. As stated in the other comments Dick York was
an exceptional actor to say the least. It was too bad that his medical condition forced the "people in charge" to replace him. I also agree with the comment about Darrin #2 kissing Sam seemed to be like watching "an affair"; leaving you with a "bad feeling". And again; it seemed obvious that Darrin #2 was "forcing himself" to kiss Sam; no genuine feeling of love came across in those scenes, (of course now we know why). One last note; Samantha over Jeannie any day! -- Submitted By: (Pete) on June 2, 2013, 4:17 am

Survivorman - TV Shows@jimdcarter: Since you've never watched the show, you're not in a very good position to dish on it. I won't dispute your point that reality TV shows in general have either gone BTF or are pretty close. I hardly watch any reality TV, so I'm not in a good position to argue with that point, and since I don't care much for reality TV in general, I'm not very inclined to argue with that point, anyway. But I have seen all the episodes of Survivorman, and where this show is concerned I'll dig my heels in and say that you're totally wrong. It kept its premise very simple: There is a situation and we see how the host deals with it. The basic premises of most other reality shows, however, rely on some kind of gimmick or con, which IMO places them on shaky ground from the start. (For that reason, the original Apprentice is one of the very few reality shows I've actually liked.) Anyway, Survivorman kept it simple, didn't stray from its premise, and also closed up shop before it had a chance to bone. Yes, Les Stroud's reason for quitting was the extreme physical demands of doing the show, but by a happy coincidence the timing also ensured the show would never bone.

Angry Beavers, The - TV ShowsOne episode stands out for how Godawful it is (it's so bad calling it "Godawful" is actually a compliment!): "Up All Night 2", the sequel to Up All Night. It picks up where the episode left off, with the brothers stuck in the future. Suddenly, it's deus ex machina time: an outhouse TARDIS appears, and takes them back to the past. Now they're too tired to sleep. They flop all over the place. Then they lay in front of each other sticking out their tongues and raspberrying each other. Then their tongues tangle together. Then they fall asleep, the end. It has to be the worst episode of any cartoon. Why did it have to be the Angry Beavers, one of the best Nicktoons? Practically all episodes after that were crap.

Billy Joel - Music GroupsWhile one can say Billy Joel's music never Boned The Fish or Jumped The Shark, Billy did when he divorced Christie Brinkley and put out his last album of new vocal songs in 1993 with The River Of Dreams. 20 years later Joel has no interest in returning to music and to playing concerts as much as he did in the 70s through the early 00s and a tour he took in 2005. He is now focused on living his life off his royalties. His drinking also got worse for a period to where he crashed his car into a wall and went off to rehab. Then his marriage to his wife Katie Lee ended. He gave up writing new songs and working on melodies. About all he managed to do was a album of classical works and some compilations or a live album and that sort of thing. Elton John has said Billy is lazy now. Then Elton claimed Billy stopped touring with him because he wasn't in the mood. To which Joel said there was a misunderstanding on tour dates. Joel does claim to the New York Times that he writes classical music still and stuff that he likes. But no more rock and pop tunes. He plum got burned out with pop music. So for that he jumped the shark/ boned the fish when he divorced Christie, and rolled out his last album. It all came at the same time followed by him marrying a woman 20 to 30 years younger who later left him as well. -- Submitted By: (AlanVallazza) on May 26, 2013, 12:31 pm

The main piece of evidence that this show Boned The Fish is that the role of Maggie (Dixie Carter/Mary Ann Mobley) was recast, which begs the question of why the role of Maggie was even created to begin with?

Maude (TV series) - TV ShowsThe interesting thing about both Maude and All In The Family is that both conservatives and liberals got portrayed as bumbling fools. It's a pretty timeless quality as that is still true in today's political climate. -- Submitted By: (TheTruth) on May 22, 2013, 10:51 am

Shrek - Movie SeriesI hated the third one and it really boned but somehow Unboned itself with the fourth movie, which I loved. It's my favorite of them all. -- Submitted By: (JericaLily) on May 21, 2013, 6:18 pm

ABC Weekend Special - TV ShowsI definitely preferred Willie Tyler and Lester to that OG Readmore character so I feel like the quality took a hit when Willie left. Also they started playing certain ones way too much like "The Secret World of Og." Did they lose the rights to their own backlog? Wonderful show though and the theme song is one of my favorite childhood memories. -- Submitted By: (JericaLily) on May 21, 2013, 5:54 pm

Captain Planet and the Planeteers - TV ShowsTotal propaganda show however it had a a few refreshingly real moments. It definately boned when the aliens showed up.
I'm glad we didn't have to see the version they would have made in the uber PC future. Linka would be dating Qwame; Wheeler would be dating Gee; Ma Ti would still be a wuss. White males would be even more double minus bad etc. -- Submitted By: (ExTVLover) on May 21, 2013, 4:15 pm

RollerCoaster Tycoon - Random TopicsIn Game 3 you can make some waterslides that no park in their right mind would ever build. I have one called the Saxophone. It's 400'high and shaped exactly like the instrument. It's fun to watch the riders fly out the mouth and into the pool! -- Submitted By: (Regulus) on May 21, 2013, 1:39 pm

RollerCoaster Tycoon - Random TopicsI used to like drowning all the guests in a lake, then reopening the park (All the guests who drowned were immediately replaced with new peeps, and since they all paid admission you\'d make $500,000.00 real quick! -- Submitted By: (Regulus) on May 21, 2013, 1:37 pm

Back to the Future - Movie SeriesI was bummed when I saw "The End" after the third movie. Remember the event that sent Doc back to the old west. There was some kind of malfunction with the time circuit just before the bolt of lightning struck the car. That malfunction would happen again when Marty attempts to return to 1985. Going over the ravine, he notices something peculiar as the car crosses the intersection, all the cars are antique automobiles! He looks at the circuit and realizes he's in the year 1927! He makes a rudimentary repair to the car so that it can run on gas, at least long enough to get back to 1985. He goes to a gas station to get gas, he interrupts a young couple who kissing behind the gas station. He gets the gas, then exits the station. The couple enters the station, suddenly a Car with Gangsters brandishing Tommy Guns drives at a high rate of speed, they open fire on the station, killing the owner of the station and the couple. Marty evades them, then hops in the Delorian and steps on the gas, a Steam Locomotive hot on his heels. Finally arriving in 1985 guess what? The Casino is back, but not owned by Biff. He also finds out Jennifer was never born! (That couple he ran across were Jennifer's Grandparents). Returning to the railroad tracks, he sees the Delorian destroyed, but then here comes Doc in his souped-up Locomotive. Marty hops in and they now embark on a adventure in the Roaring 20s! -- Submitted By: () on May 21, 2013, 12:56 pm

Saturday Night Live - TV ShowsSVN ..my feelings EXACTLY about Dana Carvey (The Church Lady) He (she?) was funny!! Also the other acts Mr. Carvey did were hysterical as well! -- Submitted By: (Katzi428) on May 21, 2013, 12:46 pm

Criminal Minds - TV ShowsProbably the best show on TV in the last 10 years. The characters are interesting and the villians are too.
Drawbacks: It suffers from something I call Law and Order syndrome. Once you've seen between 50 or 100 episodes you seen all of them. Of course the details change but the basic plot twists repeat themselves. It gets stale.
The characters are a bit too stereotypical. Reid is the nerd, Morgan is the jock, Penelope is the insecure large woman, etc. A little character development will go a looooong way toward keeping a show interesting in the years to come. -- Submitted By: (ExTVLover) on May 21, 2013, 11:24 am

Tumblr - WebsitesWell, Yahoo has now officially bought Tumblr.
The things that concern me most about this is that a) Yahoo has a tendency to screw up sites they buy, and b) The average Yahoo commenter and the average Tumblr user are on the exact polar opposite ends of the political spectrum. -- Submitted By: (cartooner) on May 20, 2013, 10:06 pm
